Five of Cups
Briefly: 5 days associated with an event that will not be so happy or positive.
In Detail…
This card shows a man with his head lowered and he is facing the ocean
and a cliff top in the distance. On the ground in front if him is three
cups spilling out red liquid. Behind him are two cups. He looks sad and
alone. The dark clouds in the sky signify sadness. There is a time
frame of about five days associated with an event that will not be so
happy or positive. However, all things must eventually come to an end
and we experience pain and hurt because we are human. Even though the
person is experiencing some loss, there is still hope and this is
symbolised by the two cups behind him, suggesting that he cannot see
this at this point in time, but it is definitely there. This man will
eventually pick up the pieces and move on, but has to grieve his loss
as he is a human being and will feel this way for some time before he
can be healed and renewed. The card often symbolises winter, but can
also represent a cold time in the persons life, or there is a
separation of some type that is causing this temporary sadness. When
the time has passed he will see that there is always hope for a new
life and he will start anew, but it may be in a new season such as
Spring. |

Whatever your past has brought to you, the time has come to reflect on
the choices you have made along the way. Perhaps there were things you

shows that wrongs will be put right. You can assist this process by
addressing those issues that had caused friction and pain in your life
and make some headway towards a more harmonious relationship with those

past. Perhaps a new love is going to appear and involve some long-range
commitment for you. The number two can represent time as in days, weeks
or months and this may indicate when the encounter will take place. The

married couple have been trying and this has been delayed or hindered
in some way, now it may eventuate. Also there can be a celebration of
some kind and this of course could indicate the celebration of the
birth of a child. If you are single and looking for romance, then it
may be on its way and you could find this person proves to be your

in many and varied ways. This card cuts aside those things and people
that you no longer need or are relevant to your life. This can also too

Whichever you choose, it will be a welcome change and one that will
require additional energy on your part, however you will more than

tooth or other body part, and it may be replaced with an artificial
part. This gives the ability to recover quickly and to get on with the

new challenges and dare to do more than you have ever done before. Luck

through the day with fearless abandon. He has a mission and knows
exactly where he is going. Sometimes this card can indicate the arrival

departure of someone from your life. If you are expecting someone to
arrive, they will do so very quickly. If you sense that someone wants
out, they will leave just as quickly. This can also signal some type of
emergency, though not necessarily too serious of an event that has

corner and you will find this person to be very warm and responsible.
